Sundot Ohana - All the way from Raiatea, French Polynesia, Teariiroa Chapman

by Sundot Marine January 24, 2019

My biggest fishing influence was My Grandpa. He taught me everything I know about the ocean, navigation with the stars, bird behavior, reading maps, reading weather and know what moon is best for what fish. But most of all, he offered me his love for fishing and for the Ocean. I really became a fisherman because of his love for fishing and since he passed away this June going out fishing is like going back to him everyday.

Pohoiki and the newest black sand beach on the Big Island

by Sundot Marine October 22, 2018

When we did make it to the beach, we were left in awe at the expansive black sand beach that now covers the bay. The jetty protecting the boat ramp is almost completely covered in sand. It is amazing to think that this was once the main entry and exit points for boats on this side of the island, always hustling and bustling with fishermen and children.

Get the Drift and Bag It, Puako Beach Cleanup

by Sundot Marine October 15, 2018

We had a pretty epic morning organized which more than fifty people turned up for. Along with our standard beach cleanup event, we also had other activities for the public which included a toxic sunscreen trade-in with Little Hands Hawaii and a scavenger hunt for the kids with a bunch of rad prizes, including two paintings by actual dolphins from Dolphin Quest, Waikoloa.

Sundot Ohana: West Maui Sports

by Sundot Marine August 28, 2018

Doug at West Maui Sports has been selling our Sun Dot Marine Flags for over 20 years. To me, thats amazing! And I think it's great to meet the people you do business with and thank them in any small way that you can. We hooked him up with one of our hats. Doug was super friendly and loved our Mahi-Mahi hat. I think we made each other's day!

Huggo's 23rd Annual Wahine Tournament

by Sundot Marine August 08, 2018

The day of the 23rd Annual Huggo's Wahine Tournament seems to have gone in a blur. We woke up at 5am to make fresh musubi's and fruit kebabs. Then headed down to the harbor. The boys were already getting the boat ready. Arguably the cutest boat in the harbor.

World Ocean's Day at Hapuna Beach

by Sundot Marine June 11, 2018

Our littlest Sundot Ohana crew helped to fill their orange buckets with trash from around the area. The strangest thing being found by them was a plastic water bottle filled with hundreds of tiny dead (and a few live) cockroaches. The amount of plastic astounded the little ones, and was a little heartbreaking when they began to realize how plastic just seems to be everywhere.
